AKMI for Office Workers

Your desk is
hurting you.
We measure exactly how.

Hip flexor shortening. Thoracic kyphosis. Cervical forward head. Wrist and shoulder asymmetry. Every one of these is measurable, quantifiable, and correctable -- when you start with data instead of guesswork.

The Structural Cost of Sitting

Four zones. All compromised by desk work.

01

Hip Flexors

8+ hours of sitting shortens them permanently

Your hip flexors are contracted for every minute you sit. Over years, they shorten, pull your pelvis into anterior tilt, and inhibit your glutes. Your lower back compensates. Your squat pattern breaks. Your deadlift stalls. We measure hip flexion, extension, and pelvic tilt -- then restore what sitting took.

We measure: Hip extension bilateral, Thomas test position, pelvic tilt classification
02

Thoracic Kyphosis

Your upper back rounds forward to meet the screen

Sustained screen work drives your thoracic spine into flexion. The muscles between your shoulder blades weaken. Your chest tightens. Your shoulders round forward. This doesn't just look bad -- it limits overhead pressing, pulls your neck into forward head posture, and compresses your breathing capacity.

We measure: Thoracic rotation bilateral, thoracic extension, chest wall expansion
03

Cervical Forward Head

Your head weighs 10 lbs. At 30 degrees forward, it feels like 40.

For every inch your head moves forward, the load on your cervical spine increases by roughly 10 pounds. Desk workers average 2-3 inches forward of neutral. Chronic headaches, neck stiffness, and upper trap tension are the symptoms. The forward head posture is the cause. We measure the distance and correct it.

We measure: Cervical forward head distance, upper cervical extension, deep neck flexor endurance
04

Wrist & Mouse Shoulder

Repetitive micro-movements, asymmetric loading

Your mouse hand is in sustained pronation with repetitive clicking. Your keyboard wrist is in chronic extension. Your mouse shoulder sits elevated and protracted for hours. These are small positions, but 2,000 hours a year of them creates measurable structural change. We quantify the asymmetry between your dominant and non-dominant side.

We measure: Wrist ROM bilateral, shoulder elevation comparison, forearm pronation/supination
Full Assessment Package

Everything you need to undo what your desk did.

The assessment measures your current structural state. The program rebuilds what sitting compromised. Every exercise selected from your data -- no generic stretching routines, no one-size-fits-all programs.

FAQ

Common questions

I don't train. Is this still for me?

Yes. You don't need to be a lifter to benefit from structural assessment. If you sit 8+ hours a day, your body has adapted to that position. The assessment measures how, and the program corrects it -- even if your 'training' is 20 minutes of targeted exercises three times a week.

Will this fix my back pain?

We don't diagnose or treat pain -- that's a clinician's job. What we do is measure the structural positions that commonly cause it. If your lower back pain correlates with 15 degrees of hip extension deficit and anterior pelvic tilt, we can address those structural factors. Many clients report pain reduction as a secondary benefit of restoring normal ROM.

Can I do this at home with no equipment?

The initial program uses bodyweight and resistance bands. As you progress, we introduce dumbbells and barbell work if appropriate. The assessment itself requires no equipment.

How is this different from just stretching?

Stretching addresses muscle length. We address structural patterns -- which includes muscle length, joint position, motor control, and load distribution. The assessment identifies which specific tissues need lengthening, which need strengthening, and in what sequence. Random stretching is a guess. This is a measured intervention.

Stop guessing what sitting did to you.

18 tests. Your structural map. A program that reverses the specific damage your desk created -- measured in degrees and centimeters, not feelings.
